[Bug 1621324] Re: On the all-snaps image, snappy-debug.security can't access syslog

[Oliver Grawert]

since the adm group is inside the readonly /etc/group, we should move it
to /var/lob/extrausers/group, adding a livecd-rootfs task

Bug description:
  Tested in rpi2, using today's image from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
  /ubuntu-snappy/16.04/current/ubuntu-core-16-pi2.img.xz

  After boot and configuration, I logged in using ssh and installed
  snappy-debug to debug the snapweb problems. However, the snap can't
  access syslog even after connecting the plug:

  elopio at localhost:~$ snappy-debug.security scanlog
  sysctl: permission denied on key 'kernel.printk_ratelimit'
  Could not open '/var/log/syslog'. Did you run 'sudo snap connect snappy-debug:log-observe ubuntu-core:log-observe'?
  elopio at localhost:~$ sudo snap interfaces snappy-debug
  Slot          Plug
  :log-observe  snappy-debug
